Anxiety: Can cause a whole array of uncomfortable symptoms. Muscle tension in the neck can cause headaches. Lightheadedness due to anxiety almost always comes from HYPERVENTILATION. By breathing too often, too deeply, or too quickly, we lower our bodies carbon dioxide level. This in turn can cause light-headedness. Focus on breathing from your diaphragm, not your lungs. Or use a paper bag.
